  5. The psychic structure of disciplinary imperialism

    From Sherry Turkle’s classic The Second Self pg 229-230:

    The first justification for AI’s invasions and colonization of other disciplines’ intellectual turf was a logic of necessity. The excursions into psychology and linguistics began as raids to acquire ideas that might be useful for building thinking machines. But the politics of “colonization” soon takes on a life of its own. The invaders come not only to carry off natural resources but to replace native “superstitions” with their “superior” world view. AI first declared the need for psychological theories that would work on machines. The next step was to see these alternatives as better—better because they can be “implemented,” better because they are more “scientific.” Being in a colonizing discipline first demands and then encourages an attitude that might be called intellectual hubris. You need intellectual principles that are universal enough to give you the feeling that you have something to say about everything. The AI community had this in their idea of program. Furthermore, since you cannot master all the disciplines that you have designs on, you need confidence that your knowledge makes the “traditional wisdom” of these fields unworthy of serious consideration. Here too, the AI scientist feels that seeing things through a computational prism so fundamentally changes the rules of every game in the social and behavioral sciences that everything that came before is relegated to a period of intellectual immaturity. And finally you have to feel that nothing is beyond your intellectual reach if you are smart enough.

  13. Dans le casse-tête des référentiels par disciplines, dont aucun n'est parfait, surtout pour les LSHS, je ne sais toujours pas dans quelle case faire rentrer les études en "civilisation".

    Dans notre outil BiblioRef, les cas qui me posent le plus problème sont ceux qui relèvent d'une catégorie "langues, littérature et civilisation" (sur une aire linguistique/culturelle) : l'idéal serait de faire au cas par cas, mais on ne peut pas forcément, car les références de publications qu'on récupère doivent être taguées avec une discipline principale (et dans notre propre référentiel, on a Langues/Linguistique d'un côté et Littérature de l'autre, mais rien qui correspond à "Civilisation").

    C'est vraiment la merde les correspondances de référentiel disciplinaire, tu m'étonnes que certains ne s'embêtent pas et distinguent à peine "sciences sociales' et "sciences humaines", c'est beaucoup plus simple ! (mais pas précis, ni qualitatif, et donc inutilisable en pratique).

    J'ai encore vu aucun référentiel disciplinaire parfait et vraiment adapté aux LSHS, et notamment pour ce type d'étude par aire culturelle/linguistique. Les sections CNU sont mieux pensées mais ça reste un fourre-tout pour certaines, par ex la fameuse section 15 "Langues et littératures arabes, chinoises, japonaises, hébraïques, d'autres domaines linguistiques" 🤷‍♂️

  20. New study: In German #universities, the factor most affecting the growth of #GreenOA is "disciplinary profile". #Infrastructure & services "turned out to be non-significant."
    arxiv.org/abs/2308.11965

    "[Our analysis] hints that the original function of institutional repositories, offering a channel for secondary publishing is vanishing, while a new function of aggregation of metadata & full texts is becoming of increasing importance."

  22. A mediation analysis attributed about one-third of the lower success rate for proposals by women in a #scienceFunding competition in the social sciences to the indirect effect of #disciplines, topics, and methods. Interviews with panel members further elucidated that this effect is driven by their disciplinary evaluation logic. #PeerReview can reproduce the hierarchy of disciplines and, through it, negatively affect the outcomes for women. doi.org/10.1177/00380385231163

  23. The interview also has a longish section on the problem of #MultilingualResearch and the question how differences among the #disciplines affect the progress of OA.

  25. @terrillwelch What a #cool way of looking at it, thank you! That is very much how I see #Mastodon.

    Nothing that comes from within us is mutually exclusive. Why we think #ideas or #identities should be siloed into #disciplines is beyond me, as everything IS everything, all at once #interconnected. What an amazing #universe!

    Here's to #artistic and #intellectual #squatters everywhere! 🥂
